Story
Why would anyone research how elephants pee? Or study worms who tie themselves into a communal knot? Or quantify the squishability of a cockroach? It all sounds pointless, silly, or even disgusting. Maybe it is. But in The Salmon Cannon and the Levitating Frog, Carly Anne York shows how unappreciated, overlooked, and simply curiosity-driven science has led to breakthroughs big and small. Got wind power? You might have humpback whales to thank. Know anything about particle physics? Turns out there is a ferret close to the heart of it all.

I Do Solemnly Swear... Some oaths are made in uniform. Others are made in love. This book was written for both. But above all, it was written for them — my wife and daughter, still waiting on the other side of a locked gate in Iran, still hoping the nation I served remembers we exist. I Do Solemnly Swear... is not just a veteran’s memoir. It is a battle cry wrapped in sacred devotion. A letter home that was never answered. A warrior’s plea to a nation that has lost its honor but not its soul. I swore the oath. I wore the uniform. I kept the faith. But when I turned to the State ...

Story
Passengers get bumped from flights. Phone menus disconnect. Automated financial trades produce market collapse. Of all the challenges in modern life, some of the most vexing come from our relationships with automation: a large system does us wrong, and there’s nothing we can do about it. The problem, economist Dan Davies shows, is accountability sinks: systems in which decisions are delegated to a complex rule book or set of standard procedures, making it impossible to identify the source of mistakes when they happen.

This isn’t a manifesto. It’s a dissection. “The Big Beautiful Bill” tears into the 900-page federal law that was sold to the public as reform—but operates more like entrenchment. It rewrites eligibility, compresses benefits, and cements enforcement without ever admitting who it helps and who it buries. With the precision of a surgeon and the bluntness of a veteran policy analyst who’s seen this game before, this book walks through the full scope of the law’s reach—SNAP, Medicaid, taxes, immigration, energy, education—no section left unscrutinized. There’s no fluff here. ...

Story
In "Icarus; or, The Future of Science," Bertrand Russell explores the potential consequences of scientific advancement, drawing parallels between the myth of Icarus and the development of technology. He argues that while science can lead to progress, it also poses risks, particularly regarding power and societal structures. Russell suggests that scientific advancements, especially in the physical sciences, can increase power, lead to industrialism and war, and necessitate large-scale organization, which could potentially be used for oppressive purposes.

Across American history, the question of whose lives are long and healthy and whose lives are short and sick has always been shaped by the social and economic order. From the dispossession of Indigenous people and the horrors of slavery to infectious diseases spreading in overcrowded tenements and the vast environmental contamination caused by industrialization, and through climate change and pandemics in the twenty-first century, those in power have left others behind.

Women are disproportionately impacted by climate change. In some cases, women make up almost 90 percent of casualties during dangerous climate events, and the majority of those displaced in the aftermath are women. Despite this disparity, women are underrepresented at every level of decision-making about the future of our planet. In Intertwined, writer and wildlife biologist Rebecca Kormos elevates the voices of women working to prevent the climate crisis, weaving together their stories to make a powerful case for why women are essential to changing our current trajectory.

In secca, dai corsi stentati, o gonfi di acque irruente e trascinanti: abbiamo cominciato (finalmente!) a preoccuparci dei cambiamenti climatici e della salute dei nostri fiumi, perché ci stiamo accorgendo che una risorsa che consideravamo scontata - rinnovabile - tanto scontata e inesauribile non è. Da tempo il nostro rapporto con i fiumi è di tipo parassitario: li usiamo e ne abusiamo, ne stravolgiamo la rete e la biodiversità, e poi ce ne dimentichiamo.
